Link to this sectionPRD: saved search filters
Owner: Jonas T. · Status: In review · Target: v2.14 (mid-August 2026)
One-liner: Let users save a set of search filters under a name and re-apply it in one click, so the 40% of weekly-active users who rebuild the same filter combination every session stop doing it by hand.
Link to this sectionProblem
Search supports seven filter dimensions. Session replays show power users re-selecting the same three or four filters at the start of nearly every session – a median of 14 clicks before the first result gets opened. Support has logged 23 requests for “remember my filters” in the last quarter.
Link to this sectionGoals
- A signed-in user can save the current filter set under a name.
- Saved filters apply in one click from the search sidebar.
- First-week adoption: 15% of weekly-active searchers save at least one filter set.
Link to this sectionNon-goals
- Sharing saved filters with teammates (follow-up if adoption lands).
- Saved filters on the mobile web view.
- Auto-suggesting filter sets from behavior.
Link to this sectionProposed solution
A “Save filters” action in the search sidebar when at least one filter is active. Saving prompts for a name (pre-filled from the filter summary, e.g. “Open · assigned to me · this week”). Saved sets list at the top of the sidebar, apply on click, and support rename and delete from an overflow menu. Cap: 20 saved sets per user.

| Phase | Scope | Exit criterion |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Save, apply, delete | Feature-flagged to the team, dogfooded one week |
| 2 | Rename + ordering | Flag opens to 10% of users |
| 3 | Full rollout | Adoption metric ≥ 15% or a written decision to iterate |
Link to this sectionOpen questions
- Does applying a saved set replace current filters or merge with them? (Leaning replace – merge makes the result unpredictable.)
- Do saved sets sync across devices at phase 1, or is per-device enough?
